13 best fuzz pedals

Product description

The super badass variac fuzz is a dream come true for guitar players chasing vintage fuzz tone. This tasty fuzz is aggressive and biting, and with the twist of a knob, you can drag it into that “dying battery” territory much prized by tonechasers-no need to manage a collection of half-dead batteries. To create the super badass variac fuzz, the MXR design team dusted off a rare vintage silicon circuit, tuned it up, and added a variac control so you can set the pedal’s voltage anywhere from 5 to 15V. For that wonderful saggy fuzz effect you get as a 9V battery loses its power, just lower the voltage by turning the variac knob counterclockwise. Increasing the voltage raises the effect’s headroom, opening up the fuzz for a more transparent sound at 15V. The super badass variac fuzz’s simple interface is rounded out with tone, output, and gain controls, and it all comes in a road-ready housing with true bypass switching.

• Set voltage from 5v-15v
• Lower voltage for “dying battery” effect
• Increase voltage for more headroom & clarity
• The Package Dimensions of the Product is 2.5"H x 5.5"L x 4.5"W

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it sound different with a buffered pedal before it? I.e., should it be first in the chain like other fuzzes
Answer:	It depends on your preference! If you typically likes fuzzes at the beginning of your chain, then I would suggest trying it at the beginning of your chain. Then I would suggest trying it elsewhere on your chain to experiment. There are really no set rules. As for the buffer, same idea. Some people like buffers to get a “clearer” signal, some people prefer no buffer to get a darker tone.
Question:	Can you use a 9v power supply with this
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does this pedal have that nice violin like lead sound? similar to eric johnson
Answer:	Eric Johnson uses a strat into a marshall. The pedals for that sound are a vintage tube driver, a vintage echoplex tape delay, and a plate reverb. It's also technique.
Question:	can I have this gift wrapped
Answer:	I dont see why not. I guess that's a question you should pose to Amazon

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this digital or silicone pedal
Answer:	Silicone analog i belive
Question:	What chip(s) does this use
Answer:	No clue...but its 25 bux and pretty awesome for the price..yeap its plastic but its 25 bux.. type 2 fuzz is my favorite. Sounds like fumanchu
Question:	Would any 9v battery (6lr61 size) itself would run the pedal? if it does, how do i turn it off? do i get to take in/out the battery every single use
Answer:	Yes on the battery. The pedal turns on and off with the foot switch. You dont have to remove the battery to turn it off. Unplug the input cord will also turn off the pedal. I use a multi tap adapter with mine as they are cheaper in the long run.
Question:	Does the pedal vary the fuzz or is it just on/off fuzz switch
Answer:	This is a direct clone of the Boss Hyper Fuzz, which in turn was a super-high-gain clone of something else (I lost track). The design is such that the pedal's gain control does very little, and the pedal does not clean up with the guitar's volume knob. Essentially, you get two fuzz sounds, plus EQ, as well as a very useful clean boost function. It puts serrations into your single-note lead lines, and extra power into power chords; and it can help create a titanic parallel bass tone. Anything more complicated than that, even major third intervals, will go to mush. That said, Boss Hyper Fuzz pedals are $250 and up on Reverb as of this writing, which is fool's money if you ask me, considering the limited range of the design. $25 is a better price, even if you find yourself only using the boost function and EQ most days.
